A Puzzlement

Can you

Could you

Solve this conundrum

Decipher this dilemma

Troubling me?

How do you find 

What seems lost forever

How do you seek 

What is no longer found?

What do you call that which

Has forgotten its name

How do you point fingers 

When we are all to blame?

I look up at the sky 

Glimpsing nothing but clouds

Though my eyes search for a silver lining 

How can it feel so bitterly cold

Though I see that the sun is shining

An elusive enigma

A problem perplexing

A quandary quite sigma 

And truly quite vexing

A Gordian knot with no simple solution 

No way to escape this mental pollution 

Perhaps in the face of a futile endeavor 

I will remain in this labyrinth

Trapped here forever 

Or perhaps this is only a passing phase

I will recover, I will amaze

Life is too rich to be squandered away

I will rise to fight another day.
